Comparison TUN/TAP - what is optimal mode?
Posted: Fri Nov 15, 2013 2:55 pm
Hello!
My network architecture looks like this:
WAN <---> Router A <---> Router B <----> LAN
OpenVPN Server is running on Router B, and consequently I have configured port forwarding on Router A.
In my LAN, there are several systems running that I want to control from the WAN.
Furthermore I want to manage a service running in an internal network of Router A.
Any client of the LAN can access this internal network of Router A.
Question:
I want to setup a remote connection to the OpenVPN server from multiple clients (= mobile devices).
What is the optimal mode?
Bridging (TAP-Device) or Routing (TUN-Device)?
